Glenn Taylor, 45, was charged with one count of felony criminal mischief and David Hall, 42, was charged with one count of felony aiding and assisting in criminal mischief.

The pair filmed themselves allegedly toppling an ancient rock formation while vacationing through the Goblin Valley State Park in Utah.

Video filmed by Hall shows Taylor pushing over the protected sandstone formation. After pushing over the massive rock Taylor cheers and gives his companion a high five.

Taylor, a Boy Scout leader, told ABC News in an earlier interview that he should have handled the incident differently but thought the boulder was dangerous and thought it would be safer to push it over.

"The Boy Scouts didn't teach me to do this," Taylor told ABC News. "Would I do it again? Yes, with a ranger standing there. That's what we should have done."

Taylor and Hall were both removed from the Boy Scouts following the incident last fall.

If convicted, both men face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The two men are scheduled to appear in court for their next hearing on March 18.
